So I have a pending diagnosis of pcos looming, and I will be going to my doc for the follow up in a few days. I've been researching and reading posts on here, including the section on what to ask your doc, but I was hoping that I could get some advice from people who have been in my position. If there are specific things I should make sure I talk about in this appointment, medications to discuss, how to ovulate so I can get pregnant, clear up my skin, etc... idk, help!
Sitting around waiting for my appointment these past few weeks has been really hard. Some days I accept the fact that I most likely have pcos, other days I am so scared of what it entails I can barely function.
I'd just like some tips on what I should be sure to cover with my doc, because I want to get as many questions answered as I can!
Thanks!

First and foremost, make sure you understand from your doctor the BASIS for your diagnosis.

You can find more about how pcos is diagnosed here:

QUICK LINKS: Getting a PCOS Diagnosis & Understanding Lab Results

Don't leave the office without knowing WHY your doctor diagnosed you with pcos.

As for specific treatments, check the stickies at the top of many of the forums: HAIR, METFORMIN, DIET & EXERCISE, etc...

In the stickies, I've linked to specific research, and Discussion threads.

Your specific course of treatment will depend on many things: personal history, symptoms, goals.
